Hi, Michael !

I am glad you like my casual contributions on this forum. I am no professional writer , scholar or journalist, so that perhaps you may not be fully satisfied with what I write. True, I have written a number of replies exposing Turkish crimes, lies, frauds, dissimulations,distortions, self-glorifications. But in most cases they are just direct responses to concrete lies I came across rather than a systematic exposition of the whole system of lies, propaganda, brainwashing , intimidation and repetition which is such a striking and profound feature of 'modern' Turkey. They can be found in the comments under Dr.Pipes recent articles on Turkey.

I'll try to contact you soon over the indicated website. In the meantime I suggest a short testimony of a 19th century French scholar on Turkification of Greeks and Armenians in Asia Minor. It speaks volumes on who these so called 'Turks' who day and night keep chanting 'Ne mutlu türküm diyene" and raving of their 'Hittite'& 'Etruscan' DNA in fact are!
